1. Ok. What round these guys were drafted in does not equate to an on field accomplishment. As for Daltons resume, outside of 2015's run it's not all that special.

In 2013, Dalton ranked 8th in the NFL in passing yards. Ranked 3rd in passing TDs. Set franchise record for passing TDs.

In 2012 he ranked 7th in the NFL in passing TDs. 3rd in the AFC.

Andy Dalton is one of two QBs in NFL history to have thrown over 3,000 yards in his first 5 seasons. The other is Peyton Manning.

Also had 18,000 yards in his first 5 seasons.

In 2015, even though it was cut short, Dalton ranked 28th all time with best QB rating in a season. 8 of his 12 games he had above a 100 QB rating. Sure, you can throw in his game against Pitt at the end but that's hardly fair.

Dalton is just barely behind Drew Brees and Peyton Manning with the most passing TDs within their first 5 years.

Dalton also has the most road wins within his first 5 seasons in the NFL with 25 road wins. 3 more than both Big Ben and Matt Ryan. And he didn't even play the rest of the 2015 season.

Dalton has also taken this team to 4 playoff appearances. Technically 5 but he sadly didn't get to play. If you only count 4, that's as many as Ken Anderson has taken the Bengals throughout his career. If you include 2015, that means he only has to take them to the playoffs one more year to have the same amount of playoff appearances as Boomer and Anderson.

Dalton has a resume that exceeds 2015.
